Luke 10 — Jesus appoints seventy-two disciples to go two by two and proclaim that the kingdom of God has come near. He pronounces a woe upon Chorazin and Bethsaida. The seventy-two return to Jesus and tell him that even demons did what they said. Jesus reminds them of what’s truly important. He thankfully prays to the Father that some things have been hidden and other things have been made known. A lawyer stands up to test Jesus and asks him what he should do to inherit eternal life. Jesus then tells the parable of the good Samaritan. Jesus and his disciples continue on and a woman named Martha welcomes Jesus into her home with her sister Mary.
Luke 11 — As Jesus finishes praying one of his disciples asks him how to pray. Jesus teaches them with the Lord’s prayer and then explains what they’re doing through prayer. Jesus is casting out a mute demon and then some people say he casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons. Jesus teaches how this cannot be. Crowds increase around Jesus and he tells them that their generation is evil because they’re asking for a sign when they’ve already been given the sign of Jonah. As Jesus is teaching a Pharisees asks to eat with him so Jesus went with the Pharisee. The Pharisee is surprised to see that Jesus didn’t wash, so Jesus teaches him what it really is to be clean. Jesus insults a lawyer and he pronounces a woe upon those like the lawyer. The scribes and Pharisees begin trying to catch Jesus saying something he shouldn’t.
Luke 12 — With thousands of people around him Jesus tells them to beware of the teaching of the Pharisees. He tells them not to fear those who can kill the body only, but to fear God. Jesus says that those who acknowledge him before men will be acknowledged by the Son of Man. Someone asks Jesus to help him with his inheritance and Jesus tells the parable of the rich fool. He tells his disciples not to be anxious for anything because God cares for them. Jesus also tells them to stay ready through a parable. He tells them that he did not come to bring peace on the earth, but division. To the crowds Jesus says that they’re good at telling the weather but they don’t know how to interpret the times and he tells them that they do not need to be going to court.
